The hotel is conveniently located near the Train Station and opposite the Hind railway station in Leicester city center, close to the city center and shopping malls. The rooms offer big windows and a private bathroom, but were not cleaned up or provided with fresh towels. The service was accommodating, always ready to make a cuppa on request. The dining options include continental starters for the hungry and home-grown products. Overall, a mix of convenience and room for improvement in cleanliness.
